LONDON, Oct. 1.-The Chronicle says
the result of the RAGS is decisive. We
must accept our defeat with good grace.
The Daily Telegraph says the Thistle
was beaten handsomely on her merits.
The Volunteer is a better and swifter
ship all round, and the triumph
stamps New York builders at present
our superiors and teachers in the art
of designing fast crafts. The Stand
ard admits that the Thistle was fairly
beaten but doubts whether the result
represents the ThisIie's real form. An
examination of the Thistle's bottom
the Standard says will likely throw
some light on the problem.
HONESTLY BEATEN.
LONDON. Oct. lin commenting
on the yacht race the Telegraph says:
We are whipped and honestly beaten,
nor ought single ungenerous word
be uttered impugning the honor and
glory of the victOrs. We are sorry to
record the victory, but the Volunteer
is the better all round racing ship.
The Thistle could probably outSail the
Volunteer on long sea voyage. The
We hope to repeat the challenge in

LAKE MOHAWK, N. Y. Sept. 3O.-At
yesterdays conference of friends of the
Indians resolution was reported by
DIR. Lyman Abbott to the effect that,
hereafter, the Indian Bureau ought to
be considered as merely temporary,
that the Indians should at once be
made subject to the laws and protected
in the rights of citizenship. Bishop
Huntington made rather gloomy re-
port as to the barbarous condition and
slow progress of the Indians on the
eight reservations in the state of New
York. He advocated the abolition of
the reservations and of the treaties.
This was followed by a discussion on
the recent order of the Indian bureau
prohibiting the use of the Indian
language in the reservation schools.
The general opinion was that it was
impractical and injurious; that il
would greatly retard the outstanding
of the Indians.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

NEW YORK, Sept. S0.-R.ssG. Dun S
Co., in the weekly review of trade says:
Treasury purchases of bonds have
greatly changed the feeling in the
money market, but without giving
much relief as yet to legitimate bust.
ness. There are two money markets
TO adjust now. Money on call for
speculation on good collateral is in
ample supply, but money on time for
commerce or industry on commercial
paper is almost as scarce as it was a
fortnight ago. AS long as bankers feel
uncertain regarding the financial fu-
within reach. Meanwhile, trade is at
all points active and large in volume,
and lack OF available funds is by
many attributed rather to the swelling
volume Of business than to the
absorption Of capital in new
enterprises and speculation. Dur
ing the week the Treasury has put
ont IS 200, 600 more than it has taken
in, about S6 ,00O. 600 of certificates have
Railroad traffic and earnings continue
encouraging, and the stock market
though it reacted a little from the
rapid recovery OF last week has since
been stronger in tone onthe whole.
Wheat has been active and stronger,
advancing about q cents. and corn has
also been stronger. Oil has weakened
and coffee though maintained in price
is dull. The coal output last week,
III ,531 tons, was below that of the
corresponding week last year and an
advance is proposed. Wool sales Eat
Boston are in quantity less than half
of those Of last year. Wooden goods are
in moderate demand and cottoHs
though far from active are steady at
current prices.
After an unusually large -distribu-
ton, the one feature of ill omen
is that the average liabilities of firms
failing for the past quarter, amount to
S37 $40 against only 81, 600 for the
same quarter last year, indicating an
unwholeSome expansion of credits in
some directions. The failures for the
third quarter of 1887 number 1888 in
the United States and 308 in Canada,
against 1882 in the United States for
the third quarter of 1886, and 25S in
Canada. The increase in number is
trifiing, but the reported liabilities of
firms failing in the United States for
the quarter were S73, 022 $50, against
S27, 227 $50 for the same quarter last
year. and in Canada 81 ,996 $50 against
81 ,921 ,913 last year. While the volume
of liabilities was much sWelled by a
few heavy speculative disasters, the
fact that large increase appears in
every section of the country indicates
marked expansion of commercial obi
cations.

Pacific TnvestIratIOn

NEW York, Sept. 30.-Auditor Mink,
of the Union Pacific, before the Pacific
Investigation Committee this morning
submitted copies Of numerous records
of the company called for at different
stages of the inquiry by the commis-
sion. Among them were contracts
with the Western Union Telegra phi
Company, Pacific Express, etc. The
Commission called on Mr.. Cohen, at
torney for the Central Pacific, to pro-
duce the check stubs drawn by Hunt
ington from 1872 to 1885, and
the letter press books of the
New York Office of the Union
Pacific for the same time. Cohen de-
clined, saying he did not propose to re-
commend any further expenditures to
accommodate the commission, as that
body had already run up nearly $780,
600 for transportation, food, wine, etc.
Cohen was told that in the present
itemized account, were various
items Of individual expense which
the members proposed to pay out
of their own pockets. Commissioner
Littler, for instance, had taken his
wife along, and proposed to pay for
her transportation. Several other
witnesses testified but nothing of i'm
portance was developed. Then Mr..
Cohen presented the following bill of
the Central Pacific against the Com
mission.

the bills were passed upon, the money
